Bentley is quoted saying “I want to help honor the memory of these 19 brave firefighter, to be part of the healing process for the community and to raise money for the families left behind. I was and still am devastated by this tragic event in my home state. I certainly can’t imagine what these families are enduring, but I do believe in the healing power of music and hope as many Arizonians as possible can come out and be a part of this event.”
“We hope this benefit concert gives everyone affected by this tragedy the opportunity to come together and heal,” said KMLE Country 107.9 Program Director Tim Richards. “We want to raise as much money as possible to help the families of these amazing heroes.”
